His daughter Yuan Quan wrote a letter asking him to send Yuan Yao to the emperor to be his husband.He knew Yuan Quan was right, but he couldn't bear it.The son-in-law Huang Yi has made meritorious service and was named a marquis, but how can ordinary people bear the hardship?Yuan Yao was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, how could he bear such hardship.

Besides, it is unnecessary, he will inherit the title anyway in the future.

Still, he was a little worried.

Whether to send Yuan Yao to the emperor's side is not only for Yuan Yao's own future, but also for the future of the Yuan family in Runan.

Runan Yuan's four generations and three princes are famous all over the world.In his generation, Yuan Shao was doomed to ruin and could not inherit the glory of his ancestors.Although he proclaimed himself a minister in time and preserved a bloodline for the Yuan family, it seemed impossible to rank among the three princes.

The future of the Yuan family in Runan rests on Yuan Yao's shoulders.

But with his appearance, can he stand up?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Chang Shi Yang Hong rushed in panting, holding the hem of his clothes in one hand.

"What happened?" Yuan Shu asked listlessly.

"Great victory for the Son of Heaven, great victory for the Son of Heaven." Yang Hong made three steps in parallel, walked up the hall with agility never seen before, and came to Yuan Shu with a bright smile. "Zhou Shijun just received the edict, the emperor defeated 30 Xianbei people in the west, and the Xianbei in the west is completely over."

Yuan Shu jumped up. "really?"

"Can this be fake?" Yang Hong was stunned, startled by Yuan Shu's reaction. "I saw the edict with my own eyes, and I was in a hurry to come back to report to Junhou, and I almost fell down."

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed in front of Yuan Yao, kicked over his hand warmer, raised his hand and slapped him hard.

"Zhuzi, what are you going to eat, pack up quickly, and set off immediately."

Chapter 533

Yuan Yao covered his face and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Yang Hong looked bewildered, not sure what Yuan Shu was up to.He was talking to Yuan Shu about the great victory of the Son of Heaven, why did Yuan Shu beat Yuan Yao?

Yuan Yao has always been very well-behaved and made no mistakes.

"Your Majesty?" Yang Hong subconsciously stayed away from Yuan Shu so as not to be hurt.Yuan Shu went crazy, but he didn't care, and would strike at anyone he saw.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Yuan Shu flicked his sleeves, brushed off the dust on the ground, and warmly invited Yang Hong to take his seat. "Civilization, have you been busy recently?"

Yang Hong rolled his eyes, thinking whether I'm busy or not, don't you know?You don't care about Yangzhou shepherd's shit, it's me, Yan Xiang and others who are busy, even Yuzhou Mu Zhouzhong lives in Shouchun, we are responsible for contacting you, you don't care at all.

"If you're not busy, why don't you go for a trip. The Son of Heaven's victory over the 30 people in the Western Xianbei is such a big happy event, we courtiers can't show that we don't have it at all. You bring something valuable and report to me about the past few years achievements." Yuan Shu held Yang Hong's arm affectionately. "By the way, bring Boyang along, so that he can see the world. This Zhuzi is bored at home every day, so what can I do? When I was his age, I made friends all over the world..."

Yang Hong understood Yuan Shu's meaning and sent Yuan Yao to court.

As for political achievements, it's all about the occasion.He has a fart achievement to report.

"Junhou, is this a pledge?" Yang Hong reminded: "Even if it is a pledge, you can't send an heir."

"It's not a pledge." Yuan Shu shook his head repeatedly. "I just think there is no way to teach children. I want Boyang to serve the emperor and learn some skills by the way. Think about it, the emperor is only two years younger than Boyang, but this achievement, tsk tsk."

Yuan Shu put his hands on his hips, took two steps back and forth, and let out a long sigh. "Heroes come out of youth. When we are old, it depends on the youth. Boyang follows me, and he can't learn much. If he follows the emperor Zhongxing Dahan, even if he can't become a great weapon, at least he can become a dragon."

Yang Hong nodded.Although Yuan Shu is not stingy, he does have vision.Looking at the world, there is no one who can compete with the emperor, and the great Han Zhongxing is a foregone conclusion.Yuan Yao followed the emperor's ZTE footsteps, no credit, but also hard work, at least he can keep Yuan's family safe in the future.

Although now it seems that it is a bit late.

"My lord is wise, I'll go back and make preparations, and I'll leave after the year."

"No, we can't wait until the next year, the sooner the better, it's best to leave today."

"Leave today?"

"Well, let's go today." Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and decided not to tell Yang Hong about Yuan Quan's letter. "The great victory of the Son of Heaven, the earthquake in Kanto, the state and county must respond. If you leave late, there may be a lot of trouble."

Yang Hong felt reasonable.With the great victory of the Son of Heaven, the situation in the Kanto region will inevitably undergo major changes.The counties and counties controlled by Yuan Shao are likely to be under strict control and impassable, so as to avoid the circulation of news, which is not good for Yuan Shao.

"The minister will clean up and leave immediately."

"Hard work, hard work." Yuan Shu patted Yang Hong's shoulder.

Yang Hong said a few words modestly, turned around to say goodbye, took two steps, patted his forehead again, and turned back. "Your Majesty, I almost forgot one thing. Zhou Jiamou (Zhou Zhong) asked you to meet to discuss the recovery of Yuzhou. If you are free, go there."

Yuan Shu was a little annoyed. "He is a shepherd of Yuzhou. He borrowed my Yangzhou and is a guest. Now he wants to use my soldiers from Yangzhou to recover Yuzhou. Instead of coming to see me, he wants me to see him? It's really unreasonable."

Yang Hong ignored him, cupped his hands, and hurried away.

He knew that Yuan Shu was just complaining, and he still had to go in the end.Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's troops were Yangzhou soldiers, they did not obey Yuan Shu's orders at all, but only obeyed Zhou Zhong's orders.It doesn't really matter whether Yuan Shu goes or not.

Maybe Zhou Zhong didn't want him to go at all, but he was just being polite.

-

Yuan Shu walked into Mu Zhouzhong's temporary residence in Yuzhou with big strides, and climbed up the steps without any hesitation.

"Brother Jiamou, congratulations, congratulations."

Zhou Zhong looked at Yuan Shu blankly, speechless.It's true that those who should have come haven't come yet, and those who shouldn't have come quickly.What are you so happy for? What does the great victory of the Son of Heaven have to do with you?Just clamp your tail and be a human being.

Yuan Shu turned a blind eye to Zhou Zhong's indifference, sat down on his own, patted his thigh and sighed: "The Son of Heaven defeated the 30 Xianbei people in the west. It is really satisfying. It can be seen from this that you can't be gentle with the Hulu, just kill them directly to save trouble. One hundred million dollars to appease and fatten them up for nothing is better to use it to reward the soldiers. Hey, come and serve wine! How can such a big wedding be without wine?"

Zhou Zhong frowned and signaled his attendants to prepare wine and food.

In any case, Yuan Shu is the host and he is the guest, so we can't be too rude.

"Your Majesty, a few hundred million dollars is not enough to reward soldiers." Zhou Zhong took his seat and said earnestly: "Tens of thousands of troops go out and spend thousands of dollars a day. This reward is an astonishing expense. Back then, Xiaowu spent 70 years accumulating store..."

"Don't be in the past." Yuan Shu chuckled. "The story from 300 years ago is still being talked about every day. What's the point? You have to look at the present, now." He pointed to the ground with his finger. "If the emperor breaks Xianbei again, how many tens of thousands of soldiers will he use? How much money and food?"

Zhou Zhong was speechless for a while, he couldn't answer Yuan Shu's question.

According to his thinking, the emperor's victory is simply impossible to achieve.

He sometimes wondered if he hadn't left the court, or if the emperor had a veteran like him by his side, would he still be able to achieve such a great victory.

There is a sad fact that, except for Jia Xu from Liangzhou, there is no old official in the emperor's line, all of them are young and strong.

Could this be the reason why the emperor Lien Chan and Lian Jie won?

If so, it would be very depressing.

"Having said that, you still can't be warlike. You must know that no matter how big a country is, warlike people will die."

"You can't be good at fighting, but you must be good at fighting." Yuan Shu was triumphant. "Brother Jiamou, the central Xianbei and western Xianbei have been pacified, and Bingliang has also been stabilized. The emperor will soon send his troops to the east. As a Yuzhou shepherd, shouldn't you also cheer up, recover the lost ground, and show your military skills? Got it?"

Zhou Zhong glanced at Yuan Shu, disgusted in his heart.He really couldn't think of any reason for Yuan Shu to be so proud.Does it matter to you whether the Son of Heaven wins or not?

"I am a scholar, so I don't know how to use soldiers, let alone how to use them properly. Besides, before recovering Yuzhou, Lujiang should be recovered first. This is the responsibility of the prince. He also led his troops to battle with Dong Zhuo several times, and his record is outstanding, maybe he can still be brave."

Yuan Shu laughed out loud, not paying attention to Zhou Zhong's sarcasm. "I can't, but my son-in-law can." Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows. "How about it, do you want him to come back and help you?"

"Your son-in-law?" Zhou Zhong thought for a long time before thinking of Huang Yi. "He also made meritorious service in this battle?"

"Hey, it's more than meritorious service." Yuan Shu laughed loudly. "He led more than a hundred wolf cavalry into battle, traveled thousands of miles, beheaded over ten thousand, destroyed dozens of Xianbei tribes, made Anlu Tinghou, and had three hundred food cities."

Zhou Zhong squinted at Yuan Shu with disdain.

The fierce ghost on the road is talking big again.Huang Yi is just a scholar, even if he is in the field and transferred to a military position, how can he make meritorious service so quickly and become a marquis?

Chapter 534

After exchanging a few words, Zhou Zhong returned to the topic in time.

He and Yuan Shu hated each other, but he was not as thick-skinned as Yuan Shu, and in the end he always gave in first.

There is only one problem: how to regain Yuzhou, and together with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, form a siege against Yuan Shao.

Before that, Yan Liang who is stationed in Shucheng must be dealt with first.

Yan Liang was like a nail stuck in Shucheng, which not only prevented Zhou Zhong, the Yuzhou Mu, from taking office, but also prevented Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from going north.As for Yuan Shu, he dared not leave Jiujiang lightly.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Zhong wanted to discuss with Yuan Shu. After all, Lujiang County was still under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Mu, not his Yuzhou Mu.

Yuan Shu also wanted to solve Yan Liang.He felt that Yan Liang was deliberately sent by Yuan Shao to humiliate him, occupying Lujiang County and not leaving, so that he could not sleep at ease.He also planned to pull out the nail himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that his strength was not enough.If you act hastily, not only may you not be able to capture Lujiang, but you may lose Jiujiang.

Chen Deng is active in the south of Peiguo, who knows whether his target is Suiyang or Shouchun?

Yuan Shu had always distrusted Liu Bei, and felt that he was capricious and his position was extremely unstable.

Zhou Zhong discussed with Yuan Shu and decided to take Lujiang first.Before that, we need to get in touch with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so that they can restrain the judges and prevent them from going south for reinforcements.

They had contacts before, but their mutual trust was limited, and Zhou Zhong didn't dare to entrust his death to them.After all, Cao Cao occupies the entire territory of Yingchuan and several counties in Runan, and Liu Bei also occupies the southern part of Peiguo. They may not be willing to spit out the meat in their mouths and let Zhou Zhong, the Yuzhou shepherd, take office.

Now that the Son of Heaven has won the victory, we can discuss this issue again.

Under the general trend that the emperor can send his troops to the east at any time to calm the world, it is obviously not feasible to occupy counties and counties that do not belong to his own jurisdiction. The idea of ​​​​separating one side is even more dangerous. Cao Cao and Liu Bei may change their attitudes and actively cooperate in the battle.

As long as Cao Cao and Liu Bei can restrain the judges, Zhou Zhong can mobilize the forces of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to besiege Lujiang.If Yuan Shu can also cooperate, then he will be more confident.

There is no defense.No matter how good Yan Liang was at fighting, he couldn't last long without reinforcements to look forward to.

The two had a rare unanimity.

Zhou Zhong wrote three letters, one to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, one to Cao Cao, and one to Liu Bei.

At the same time, Yuan Shu called generals Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun and others to discuss and mobilize the army to prepare to besiege Lujiang after the new year.

-

Yi County.

Yuan Shao stood on the high platform, looking at the dilapidated but still tall buildings in the distance, his breath was heavy.

Jushou and Tian Feng stood aside, their faces equally solemn.

They had just received the news that the Son of Heaven had defeated the Western Xianbei at Xiutuze. Not only had he achieved the record of annihilating the main cavalry, but none of the leaders of the three major tribes had escaped and were all killed. Most of the leaders of the other small tribes were also captured.

When the news spread to Youzhou, Youzhou was shocked.There are two most direct consequences: one is that some people feel that after the emperor solves the central Xianbei and the western Xianbei, he is likely to move his troops east to solve the eastern Xianbei.One is that some people think that the Son of Heaven will return to Hedong, ready to return to the old capital and restore the Central Plains.

No matter which result it is, it is not good news for Yuan Shao.

He had besieged Gongsun Zan for nearly two years, and seeing that victory was in sight, if the emperor led his troops to the east at this time and he was forced to withdraw his troops, the efforts of the past two years would be in vain.

There was not much time left for him.

"Yuan Hao, Gong Yu, what can I do?" Yuan Shao turned to look at Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and asked as calmly as possible.

"The top priority is to cut off Gongsun Zan's contact with the outside world, so that he cannot get news from the imperial court." Tian Feng frowned. "If Gongsun Zan declares himself a minister to the court, Xun You will definitely come to his aid. He has recuperated for a year, and his strength has greatly increased. We must guard against it."

"Wouldn't Gongsun Zan come if he didn't accept the title?" Yuan Shao asked with a wry smile.

Although Liu He didn't have a clear attitude, the attitude of Xian Yufu and others was very clear. They only wanted to avenge Liu Yu and didn't want to have too much entanglement with Yuan Shao.If Xun You is willing to send troops, they will definitely welcome Xun You into the customs.What Liu He thought, they no longer considered.

"My lord, it is precisely because Xun You will come at any time that we must take down Gongsun Zan. Otherwise, Gongsun Zan and Xun You will join forces, and the prestige will be revived, and Jizhou will be defeated without any danger. Even if the lord wants to become a minister, I am afraid there will be no chance."

Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng, very unhappy.

Who said I was going to surrender?It is clear that you were frightened and began to plan your own way out, sacrificing me for the sake of preserving the interests of Jizhou.Speaking of it, it's quite simple. The emperor's biological mother, Wang Meiren, is a native of Zhao, and he has half of Jizhou's blood.

Yuan Shao's mood became more and more depressed, he turned around and got off the high platform.

Tian Feng and Jushou looked at each other and sighed in unison.

After a while, Tian Feng asked: "Gongyu, is there any news from your clan brother recently?"

Jushou looked around calmly, seeing that Yuan Shao had gone far, he let out a sigh of relief. "The news is there, but it is not optimistic. The emperor is in Xiu Tuze, and he is in Wugongqing. Gan Gang is arbitrary and trusts the people of Liangzhou. In the battle of Xiu Tuze, Han Sui was the leader of the outer battle, beheading Yan Chi, the commander of the wild wolf tribe. , as the first merit. In the future when the emperor goes east, Han Sui is likely to be the main general."

"Han Sui." Tian Feng shook his head. "What kind of world is this? The rebel ministers in Xiliang became pillars, but the loyal ministers were treated coldly. The emperor puts the cart before the horse, and I'm afraid he will be violent in the future."

Ju Shou hesitated to speak, he did not agree with Tian Feng's opinion.

Although the emperor used Liangzhou people heavily, he held great power, and it was he who dominated the situation, not Liangzhou people.According to the news from Ju Jun, the Son of Heaven has achieved remarkable results in promoting enlightenment in the Liangzhou army. It not only improved the combat effectiveness, but also eliminated the hostility of many Liangzhou people.

Troubled warriors like Dong Zhuo and Li Jue will never appear again. This is not only a good thing for the court, but also a good thing for the entire Han Dynasty.

Facts have proved that the root cause of Liangzhou's chaos for nearly a hundred years is not that Liangzhou people are naturally chaotic, but that the imperial court's strategy to control Liangzhou is unlawful.The imperial court would abandon Liangzhou at every turn and regard the people of Liangzhou as barbarians, how could the people of Liangzhou really support the imperial court?

If the emperor changed his course, based on Liangzhou, educated Liangzhou, and the chaos in Liangzhou was solved, then only 30 steps would be able to defeat the [-] people of Xianbei in the west.

From Ju Jun's letter, it can be seen that although the veterans were dissatisfied with the status quo, they deeply admired the emperor's strategy of curing the cold, and sighed that they turned rot into magic.They were not worried that the Son of Heaven would be militaristic. Instead, they felt that the Son of Heaven would face up to difficulties and do what others could not do. Only in this way can they stop fighting and win if they fight, and it is a great victory.

In contrast, Yuan Shao is simply a wave of war.

If the emperor goes east, does Yuan Shao have a chance to win?

In his opinion, not at all.

So, what should Jizhou do?Where should Ju's go?

After thinking for a while, Ju Shou asked, "Brother Yuan Hao, if the Son of Heaven sends his troops eastward, how can we defend against the enemy?"

Tian Feng sneered: "Gongyu, let me make a bet with you."

"What are you gambling?"
